SUN CITY FACE-OFFS

One week out from fight night

Sun City, South Africa – EFC 61 main event athletes gathered in Sun City over the weekend for final fight week interviews and face-offs.

English heavyweight Stuart ‘He-Man’ Austin fights Elvis Moyo, and was first in front of the camera. This is the first time Austin will compete in Africa and he was confident. ‘I’ve never fought in my home town,” he said. ‘I am the guy who goes to everyone else’s town and beats them.”

Up next the heavyweight title challenger, Wessel Mostert, made it clear that he believes his superior boxing skills are the path to victory. ‘With technical boxing I’ll get around his defense. I’ve said it before, I don’t think he has an iron jaw. He protects his jaw well. With my accuracy and timing, I’ll get around that defense. I am going to knock him out.”

Before they faced-off, the champion Andrew van Zyl took to the mic. ‘I win the fight on the ground. I don’t see him being able to push me when we get into the championship rounds. I don’t see him being able to knock me out. Eventually, things will unfold and the fight will go to the ground. If he is not submitted, he will be finished there.”
